Rested Gators Get Ready For Temple

The Gator men's basketball team held its first practice Wednesday night after a short holiday break, while putting the finishing touches on its preparation for Saturday's game against Temple in Sunrise at the Orange Bowl Classic. Although Billy Donovan admits his team was "a little rusty" with some bad timing in its first session back, he's hoping the time off will help his young squad. "I really am hoping that it was a rejuvenating refresher for our team," Donovan said. "Having ten games in 25 days and then having final exams with a 10-day break to try to get better and trying to balance those two things, then having a couple of games in that time, it was probably a good time for those young guys to get home and see their families."
